Forget the butterflies, tiger faces and spiderman masks, airbrush tattoo artist Vicky McAdams is making headlines for helping kids rock sleeves just like their parents do.
Take a look:

"They are only young but the little kids love getting their tattoos to look like their mams and dads," the UK resident explained to news outlets.
"To see their faces when they look in the mirror is priceless. They absolutely adore their airbrushed tattoos. One of the little lads kept his arm out of the bath so it wouldn?t wash off."
A look at the 48-year-old artist in action:
Though all of the parents seen here raved to The Chronicle about their experiences, there are, of course, those who can't get on board with the idea. One such commenter called Vicky's work: "Horrible at the best of times, but doing to a kid, parents should be done for child cruelty." While another advised everyone to "get a grip, they're temporary," a third wrote: "Oh it's art, is it" And what makes you think it's OK to use a 3-year-old to display your 'art' hmm" They're  exploiting a child's natural curiosity for such things for their own attention seeking desires."
I can maybe see what those who aren't impressed are saying a little bit, but I'm not buying into it. Since the work is temporary I don't see it being all that different from dressing kids up in matching family outfits for a photo you'll share on social me...
